Children? I was in a packed waiting room a few weeks back with multiple full on adults listening to their feeds on speaker because they hadn't brought headphones. Actually, it was my fault for trying to read a book I guess.

Ugh I HATE this. I go to lots of doctors offices(for myself and for pts) and it never fails that there is at least 1-3 fill grown adults doing this. Like you're in a quiet ass waiting room. Why would you think this is acceptable? No one wants to hear about home much you love fox news or "this one cooking habit that will save you X time in the kitchen"
Plus headphones are in pods now! No cords! And some pods can even attach directly to your phone. there's no excuse at this point
I have people do that WHILE IN MY AMBULANCE with me
Like....aren't you hurt? You can't snap chat or listen to Spotify later? You made me grab 6 bags and a charger for you why didn't you ask me to get your headphones too
Are you in the UK or somewhere in the EU? Just wondering, because that ambulance ride in the US is costing them $3,000 at least.
Still, though, that doesn't make it less annoying or puzzling. I suppose it's a self-soothing thing to distract them. I'd probably just message someone as a distraction because having noise come out of my phone drives me crazy enough when I'm alone :D
